A bit of history: GOPers fund anything to crush libs, even if it means financing lib candidates

GOPers fund anything that will crush libs, even if it means financing less-likely-to-win lib candidates that will cause more successful candidates to lose. Anything to manipulate.

Republicans are eager to see Mr Nader do well - not because of his stand on the environment or Iraq - but in the hope that he will tip the balance towards Mr Bush in the race against John Kerry, the Democratic challenger.

GOP fund-raisers also have "bundled" contributions -- gathering hefty donations for maximum effect to help Nader, who has criticized the practice in the past.

Yes, that's what he said. I think he had personal aspirations that didn't come to pass nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #5
He is/was delusional or paid to skew the election WhiteTara Mar 2014 #6

telling his 100 supporters that "they deserved it" and it's true, we sure got "it"

I know forgiveness is important, but I'm not that advanced and I despise him.

and since he (google is our friend here) was recruited into the cia in Princeton and he would do what he's asked by his corporate masters. (Any good he ever did was accidental.)

with a clean shaven face. He is truly repuklican and has no shame and never will. But I do wonder how he can push down what he did in his mind. He doesn't look like a drinker, though he does have a rather bulbous nose...
